Robyn Porter has been working on the website and has added a news-letter subscription op-tion—once submitted, it goes directly to the Edi-tor for addition to the mailing list. With the vid-eos she’s added, the website looks very pro-fessional. Thanks, Robyn!

Change in Saturday Second Chance Hours

Now that the weather is warming, we’re finding that many are out shop-ping earlier in the morn-ing and not so much in the afternoon. Effective Saturday, May 26 (the Sat-urday before Memorial Day), we’re changing our hours to 8:00 am to 12:00 noon. If ever you need anything outside our normal busi-ness hours, please call

Glenda—365-8155 Or

Hazel—365-7210

We can be downright ac-commodating given the appropriate financial in-centive. The Committee presented the Board with a check for $1,750 at their meeting on May 9. Thanks to our donors and customers, since November 15, 2011, the concession trailer has given the shelter $6,200 and Second Chance has given $13,050 for a total of $19,250.

Pet of the Week

Midnight

Midnight is a cat of many moods: she can be silly and fun, or she can be cozy and cuddly. No matter what her mood, she is always beautiful! Midnight is such a great cat that the Iola Middle School students have paid all her adoption fees! Mar-velous Midnight can be yours without cost. Come make her acquaintance soon; this pretty lady with the ar-resting yellow eyes is going to find her Forever Home very quickly.
